Working safely in the lab is the number one priority. Because of this, Grovetown High School has adopted a department-wide dress code. The details of this are as follows:
1. You must wear pants during a lab. NO capris.
2. Only tennis shoes and boots will be acceptable footwear. NO OTHER SHOES WILL BE ALLOWED. ALL tennis shoes MUST have a fully enclosed heel.
3. Hair must be pulled back if longer than your chin.
4. Aprons and goggles are required for all labs involving flames, heat, and chemicals, OR at the teacher's discretion.
Failure to comply with this dress code will result in the following:
You will be asked to sit down and a zero will be marked in the gradebook for that lab. You will be given an opportunity to make up the lab with a 30-point deduction. If the alternative activity provided was also completed you will be able to earn the points back. The lab must be made up in a timely manner. Please speak to me about this make-up. Some labs cannot be made up because of the materials used.
Remember that these rules are in place to protect YOU! |

1. If you are absent from class you are still responsible for all the work that is missed. A request for make-up work should be completed and turned in with your readmit slip when you return to school. (REMEMBER: you only have 2 days to bring in a note for your absence.)
2. Make-up work from an excused absence MUST be completed within 5 days.
3. If you are absent the day before a test (review day), you are still expected to take the test on the day you return. Make-up tests are different from the test given on test day, and may include numerous essay questions. |
